And here is a decent explanation as to why your source is wrong.
That’s like, your opinion and no facts. You provide 0 data and are a very boring person.Quote:

It’s funny you have been asked five times to link where you got your baseless statement and couldn’t provide a link. You just said look at the cdc website, well what you said doesn’t exist on the cdc website. .gee I wonder why?Quote:

So I will summarize it once again for you in my own terms. When we do a covid PCR test, we test for covid nucleic acid, aka presence of that particular virus. When we do a flu test, we test for nucleic acid from the influenza virus, usually influenza A and influenza B. These are typically ran separately, though there are tests that detect ALL of them which we have been using since April of 2020. These are called multiplex tests. Most covid tests are not done to also detect flu, so it’s possible someone can test positive for both if they were done together. But a positive covid test DOES distinguish between the flu because it is specifically testing for covid. The CDC is giving preference to the multiplex test because it tests for covid AND the flu. This does not imply that the covid tests alone cannot distinguish between the two as you have implied. It implies that it is better to test for all 3.
If you "read" something on the CDC website, it shouldn't be all that hard to post a link to that web page with your comment.
Lloyd I distinctly remember a discussion with you on this topic and finally found it. Post 3762, I understood that as you acknowledging it is possible that a COVID-19 RNA sequence could be arrived from the flu if run at a high enough Ct. No?Quote:
